Hmmmm interesting development
The Tsunami may have been the earths adjustment
to the "global entrainment" that seems to be occuring.
It seems two global rythmns are involved.
The natural rythmn of the earth and the
human rythmn set up by the internet....
These are vibrating at different rates but are
slowly becoming "entrained" Now Im not sure
if the Earth is vibrating faster or the internet
and it really doesn't matter cause they are arriving
slowly at a harmonic beat. Anyway heres a piece from
the web that helps explain it. It was written just after the
911 incident.
Allow me to propose a small beginning. It has to do with rhythm. Humanity’s rhythm is all out of whack. And we have messed up the rhythm of our own planet. All life has rhythm, from the revolving galaxies to the tiniest of atoms. The seasons, the tides, the cycle of day and night, light waves, sound: all elements of nature have in common the pulse of life. Our first experience of rhythm is our mother’s heartbeat heard from within the womb. We humans are walking rhythm machines, our own hearts being the core of our pulse. The blood rushing through our veins and the way we breathe and walk remind us of our rhythmic connection to the heavens and all things living. To stop the rhythm would be to stop life itself.
Look at the dying coral beds of the Great Barrier Reef, the barren and scarred land of the once-majestic Brazilian rain forests, the melting and diminishing ice caps. The rhythm for much of the world has either been altered or stopped, and look at the results. All the planet needs is its rhythm back—who could ask for anything more?
In music, rhythm is the key element, for without it a melody would go nowhere. It is the distance from one note to another, a forward progression in time. Life is also a continuing, forward progression in time. In order to heal a cancer, a broken bone, a depression, or even a headache, one must move forward, living a life that is mentally, physically, and spiritually creative, stimulating, and nurturing. To “heal thyself” is to move forward, not stagnate in the past.
The eighteenth-century philosopher Novalis said that “every illness is a musical problem. Sickness is thus a matter of being out-of-tune with both oneself and the world, and healing, a question of making whole.” We must be aware of and in-tune with the life-giving rhythms and pulses around us. Many times we ignore our own natural biorhythms and get out-of-sync with them, causing disharmony and distress. We can become dislocated from our spirituality, not letting the rhythm of the Cosmos influence our daily lives. We become disconnected in our faith.
In nature, “entrainment” occurs when two bodies that are in close proximity and are vibrating at nearly the same rate eventually lock-in to the same frequency and vibrate perfectly in tune. It is more efficient to vibrate in unison than in opposition. In dealing with people it is ultimately far easier and more productive to relinquish our oppositions and work together. There is certainly no “music” in the discord of the Middle East, or in the conflicts between North and South Korea; no harmony exists in Tibet, Iraq, Afghanistan; and sadly enough, on our own doorstep, White America cannot be in-tune with anyone of another color.
I own and play many percussion instruments from around the world which, among other things, help to remind me of and keep me in touch with the global community. I am acutely aware of the different world cultures of each drum, and I play each with deep respect for its peoples and their history. Tablas from India, a djembe from Ghana, Turkish gongs, multicultural frame drums, Vietnamese temple blocks, dumbeks from Morocco and Afghanistan, and a Chinese temple drum—each speaks to me in its individual way. As I play, the rhythmic undercurrent reinforces and augments my awareness of the omnipresent, life-sustaining rhythms that are around me. I can feel the pulse and spirit of life within me at home, at work, and while asleep. That energy is there for all peoples of the world to lock-in to, to entrain with, and to be in-tune with. It opens the door for one to be in-sync with the energy within oneself, allowing it to flow out to others.
Yes, music can be a wonderful healing medium, and frequencies are the building blocks. I have two low “F2” gongs which, vibrating at about 86 cycles per second, are in themselves amazing instruments of healing. “F” corresponds to the root chakra in Chinese medicine. After a long, hard day at work I will go to the gong and stand before it with my eyes closed. Though I do not have perfect pitch, I can actually hear the “F” before striking the gong. The “voice” of the gong is in the air, and I can pick it out and sing it before striking. The “F” is a grounding tone. It cleanses the body and mind of all the negativity of the day. Once I do strike the gong, its warm and embracing tone permeates my entire being. I can almost feel every stressed-out and fragmented cell in my tired body begin to line up and work together again. The experience is a sonic bath.
Music also has the power to incite. When I was a teenager in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I went to a dance at the Masonic Lodge. The band was loud and the crowd, angry. At one point a fight erupted next to the stage, and one musician savagely tried to hit people on the head by swinging his solid-body guitar at the lunging mass. That experience summed up the entire state-of-mind of kids at the time. Albuquerque was in a very bad way in 1967-68, as was the rest of the country. I am convinced that had my sister and I continued on in Albuquerque, one of us would be dead. I was constantly harassed, and many times narrowly escaped severe beatings. My sister still had her real growing up to do, and she could have hooked up with a very bad element. I am thankful that my family relocated to the Northwest. More >

WHY NOT TODAY
One day the Sun it will shine... Why not Today? Why not Today?
Some day the Love we will find... Why not Today? Why not Today?
Chorus: Tomorrows just a dream away, out beyond the Great White Way,
Life is just a state of mind, an inner Mountain we must climb
There will be Joy in our time... Why not Today? Why not Today?

March 22 is World Water Day
The drinks are on me well maybe not
nope only got 50 cents you're on your own....
*smiles*
GENEVA -- The lack of any major outbreak of disease in areas hit by the Dec. 26 tsunami is largely due to the rapid deployment of clean water and sanitation teams, the international Red Cross said Tuesday.
In a statement marking World Water Day, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said the response provided a dramatic demonstration of the need for clean water.
But the resource is also essential for longer-term chronic shortages in the developing world, the federation and other international organizations said. More >

Okay...
Besides ourselves...
what things in your opinion
and experience make this world
worth living in?
I'll go first...
if I may...
Well I really like the fresh scent of spring
It's really rather intoxicating
and the Rocky mountains...
They are somewhat stoically Godly. More >

OUR GLOBAL STORY
Foreword: Well this a story that we "together" can and should write.
It should perhaps bring forth the best of us. Why? Does anyone know
how long we have? More than likely not, so as Don Juan said
we should be impeccable, at least most of the time. Well that being a or the case it begins thus...
(and do jump in if you have something worthy to record)
"Thrice"... upon a time, a planet called Earth wound its merry way around a Sun, in the Milky Way galaxy.
Earth, shall we say, and its common reality, is!
Now, what it is, seems to be a question and up for debate, and we are having troubles agreeing on and understanding many things and almost everything. Yes?
Well seemingly.
The planet thus is so, and in a state of flux or "potential."
Is this "clear" or is anything clear on this Tuesday in the dawn of March 22, of 2005 in the North Western Hemisphere of this place called Earth? Well the sky is dark and not clear here. Any thoughts?
Sayeth this Canadian of Alberta... at 5 ish AM MST of the clock... More >

An introduction to the science and art of perception management.
The phrase "perception management" is filtering into common use as a synonym for "persuasion." Public relations firms now offer "perception management" as one of their services. Similarly, public officials who are being accused of shading the truth are now frequently charged with engaging in "perception management" when disseminating information to media or to the general public.
Although perception management operations are typically carried out within the international arena between governments, and between governments and citizens, use of perception management techniques have become part of mainstream information management systems in many ways that do not concern military campaigns or government relations with citizenry. Businesses may even contract with other businesses to conduct perception management for them, or they may conduct it in-house with their public relations staff.

Perception management is a term originated by the U. S. military. The U. S. Department of Defense (DOD) gives this definition:
Actions to convey and/or deny selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning as well as to intelligence systems and leaders at all levels to influence official estimates, ultimately resulting in foreign behaviors and official actions favorable to the originator's objectives. In various ways, perception management combines truth projection, operations security, cover and deception, and psychological operations.
